    Martin - now that we know you're a bit of a Lurkalot round these parts - I'll add my thanks too. Not just for all the advice on how to get debt free, but for the enormous confidence that doing this gives us in other areas as well.

    Show yourself lad!

    PS - SS, you owe me for several boxes of tissues. I'll be sending you a claims letter shortly.

    Way to go Martin - I love the passion ;)

    I love Jeremy Vine. Listen to him as often as I can and if I didn't I would never have found MSE!!

    It was along the lines of "I'm often moved to tears at the support the people on the debt free wannabe board give each other."

    I agree with others about Martin getting an honour....

    Was thinking about the cash for honours scandal and wondering what we could do, in a dfw way of course....:money:

    D'you reckon free vouchers for Bounty could clinch it, after all they've got a hell of a mess to clean up!!!!! If so, I'll chuck my 2 vouchers into the pot!
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I just listened to it, thought he was great!

    I think the banter with jeremy served to make people question their own attitude. Perhaps they would have dismissed martin initially but hearing him persuade jeremy might have helped them to see what he was trying to say. Hope so :)

    Very sweet, the comments about this board.
